History of James Bond: Dr. No — 60 Years Ago

You’ve no doubt heard that it’s the 60th anniversary of James Bond. It was featured at this year’s Academy Award.

But the actual 60th anniversary of the films is today:

October 5, 1962, was the premiere of the first James Bond film, Dr. No.

For historical context, this was the same day The Beatles released their first single, Love Me Do.
